A reduced VPSA cycle comprising the steps adsorption,depressurization, and evacuation was considered, using a model biogas with 50% CO 2 in 50% CH4 . The mass balance for the gasphase was formulated using a simplified advection-reaction approach and for the solid phase using the Linear Driving Force (LDF)model. The steady-state model serves as a basis for process design and optimization, allowing the determination of the requiredbed height as a function of the target product purity.}, publisher = {Wiley Online Library}, keywords = {analytical model}, keywords = {biogas upgrading}, keywords = {plant design}, keywords = {pressure swing adsorption}, title = {An Analytical Design Model of a Vacuum Pressure Swing Adsorption Process for Biogas Upgrading}, doi = {10.1002/CITE.70127}, author = {Welter, Thomas and Mackel, Jan and Döring, Niklas and Vidal Muñoz, Hilario}, }
